RMB motorworks motor
Custom built to my budget and needs, big features:

- Manly I-Beam rods
- Custom 9.7:1 JE Pistons with Coating
- Closed Deck Block
- Gen 2 Crank
- XDI-35 HPFP
- Custom HPFP Cam

Also adding a Circle D torque converter and this set up will pair well with the full bolt-on set up (with upgraded manifolds and turbos) I had before.
nice

Patiently waiting for the start of the school year - two more weeks and then it’s nine months of solitary bliss not having the kid and my school teacher wife staring over my shoulder 24/7 here at the home office!

The first month of summer vacation usually goes by without a hitch - my son is busy with his various science camps and the wife typically has a few school meetings and “girls day out” events to break things up. July has the benefit of the 4th of July and usually a family vacation of some kind to help smooth things out. August is brutal - the wife starts stressing out about the start of the school year and my son starts getting bored with all of the things that kept him occupied earlier in the summer. I always say that by the middle of August I feel like Jack Nicholson in “The Shining”.....😂

I physically work in the Mercedes store, but we are certified for all our neighboring brands our company sells

Mercedes 35%
Lexus 35%
LandRover 10%
Jaguar 10%
Porsche 5%

and 5% other oddball cars

A real nice area...We've been there before and they've started building resort's in the area but not overbuilding. Tela Bay was popular as a harbor for pirates that raided Spanish ships years ago.

A different kind of stock. Use to be the chrome package but Patrick fixed that along with the 20 inch sport wheels and dropping the rear to level it out
